I well recall Wolf Blitzer in the invasion of Iraq when our planes were bombing Bagdad. I was very repelled at the attempts to glorify and praise the carnage we created as well as his own attempts to act like a "war correspondent". Interesting contract with the elimination of coverage of the war as the stupidity of our invasion became more obvious. Our so-called mainstream media loses no opportunity to reinforce the racial and ethnic stereotypes that divide us and which help maintain and intensify the economic divide.
Would seem to require a correction and apology from Diane Sawyer, but I'm thinking we are not likely to see it.
First thing I read every morning. Great insights reflecting years of scholarship. Thanks, Juan!
